Turn Your Bouquet Into Functional Art That You’ll Love for Years
Your wedding bouquet was one of the most meaningful parts of your day—crafted with care, carried with love, and admired by everyone. But after the vows are exchanged and the petals begin to fade, what comes next?
That’s where preservation comes in. With nearly five years of experience turning bouquets into keepsakes, I’ve helped countless couples preserve their flowers using resin art, pressed frames, and shadow boxes. And while preservation is beautiful on its own, how you display your piece is where it really comes to life in your home.
Here are some of the most creative, personal, and functional ways to showcase your preserved wedding flowers.

1. Statement Resin Blocks for Your Shelf or Mantel
A clear resin block showcases your flowers in full 3D detail—like a frozen moment in time. These make stunning display pieces for:
• Mantels or bookshelves
• Entryway consoles
• Bedroom nightstands
• Office desks or studios
Pro tip: Choose a size and shape that suits your home décor style—classic square, modern hexagon, or heart-shaped for a romantic touch.

2. Shadow Boxes on Your Wall or Gallery Space
A shadow box lets you keep the shape and depth of your original bouquet while protecting it behind glass. These can be mounted or placed on a shelf and work beautifully in:
• Hallways and staircases
• Gallery walls with wedding photos
• Over a dresser or vanity
• Your bedroom or living space
Want to personalize it? I often include wedding invitations, vow cards, nameplates, or even fabric from your dress or suit inside shadow boxes.

3. Pressed Flower Frames for Minimalist Art Lovers
Pressed flowers are flattened, dried, and arranged like a botanical painting. These are perfect if you love a more modern, clean look—and they fit in just about any room.
Ideal spots for pressed flower frames:
• Above your bed
• On a gallery wall
• In your home office or reading nook
• As part of a seasonal décor rotation
You can go bold with a black frame for contrast or keep it soft and romantic with a wood or gold finish.

4. Functional Keepsakes: Coasters, Ornaments, & Ring Holders
Your flowers don’t have to live only on the wall! I also offer smaller resin keepsakes that are both beautiful and functional:
• Resin coasters with petals or whole blooms for your coffee table or bar cart
• Ornaments for your holiday tree or year-round décor
• Ring holders or trays for your dresser or bathroom vanity
• Mini blocks or keychains as thank-you gifts for family or your bridal party
These pieces make thoughtful gifts—or a way to keep part of your bouquet with you in more than one space.

5. Display Multiple Pieces Together
If you preserved several items—like a main bouquet block, a boutonnière, or a pressed frame—grouping them together creates a stunning visual story.
Create a “wedding moment corner” in your home using:
• A resin block + your wedding photo
• A pressed frame beside your vow book
• A shadow box paired with framed handwritten letters or keepsake items
This layered, intentional styling turns your preserved flowers into a centerpiece of your love story.

Final Thoughts
Your bouquet doesn’t belong in a closet or a box—it deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered. Whether you choose resin, a shadow box, or a pressed frame, your preserved flowers can fit seamlessly into your home and heart.
